and now we have texas ICE spics body slamming liberals into the concrete! it's great, isn't it? have you tried not being a doomer for ten seconds and looking around at the things that are actually happening NOW? perhaps when your anime girl is properly beef tallowed up, you'll feel like having more reasonable discussions. consider a burgersuit, doomerfriend.

Anything less than baseless optimism and an active refusal to acknowledge alternative evidence has guys like kvetching about muh anime and muh doomer. You aren't convincing me of anything other than you are easily swayed by some tik tok clips, and apply those tik tok clips to the entire nation as if they matter. The reason these people are so confident actively barring ICE from deporting criminal invaders is specifically because they know they will be handled with kid gloves at worse; if this was a rally of muh white supremacists that the Republicans have such a hate boner for, there would be nothing but gunfire the moment one of us got uppity, and you know it.

Meanwhile, they will get more and more emboldened while you guys reserve your energy for shouting down anyone who advises some prudence, and more importantly, some meaningful results.
 
Imagine simping for a Federal Reserve chairman. On the fucking Kiwi Farms. Never thought I would see it.

Can someone TLDR this situation for me? In my head it's "Powell lowered rates during Biden's re-election campaign to help Biden but raises them to hurt Trump". Is that the only accusation here or is there more to it?
 
The Federal Reserve is the fount of evil, any act done to them is Just, period, they are the very core of the rot of America, If I could I'd huck every last one of them into a Volcano like I was Heihachi Mishima myself.
I stand by what I said. The federal reserve is evil because they have facilitated the destruction of the dollar over several generations. The financial fuckery under Bernanke and Yellen especially have pushed asset prices so high that its priced out anyone working class under 35 from affording homes.

Charging the one guy who has hiked rates in the past 20 years is not going to end well. Powell's term is up in a few months anyways. Make no mistake, this is a message to the next guy to not go against the executive office.

I'll be the first to discuss how the Fed could be replaced with a more transparent system, but leaving interest rates up to the executive office is NOT a good idea.
 
Still, Trump’s solution in this case is to threaten the Fed Chairman with prosecution. I don’t see how that will get the rates lowered. Senator Tillis said he is refusing to appoint any new Fed governor until the investigation is over and Murkowski echoed his message.
Yeah, where we’re at now is at the point where Trump has moved past expecting Powell to compromise because it was too obvious that Powell is willfully fucking things up.

It’s not “prosecution because Powell said no,” it’s an investigation for why they needed to spend a billion and a half on their building which may lead to prosecution if impropriety is found, and I’m on board with that, considering however many of us have been investigated by the FBI without ever knowing it because we bitched about Biden
 
Every story I read about Somalian fraud makes Indian scammers look like criminal masterminds.
What's funny is there is also a huge amount of Somali fraud going on in Maine. It's the same bit, except with interpreter services instead of daycare. Somalis are literally going around threatening local reporters and Janet Mills, the governor, is trying to cover it all up so she can run for Senate this year.
 
I hate to agree with you, but yeah, it seems like it. Do you think it started when Eisenhower forced segregation? With Brown vs. Board of Education? With Hart/Celler? Post Civil War?

We lost WWII. Worse victory of all time.
nothing ever really "starts" everything is a continuation of the things that happened before it, it simply accrued over time to where we are now, every thing just another chip on the table.

The game of Civilization was simply won too hard this time around, there has to be destabilization and rebuilding or things rot, and we are deep in the rot at this point, under out current system, which could continue on till our races end, as it steadily cements itself.. we will never escape this Planet, we will never make it and be eradicated by the great filter.

Seems pretty grandiose but its true, our current order is not interested in advancing the human race, and for that and that alone, is an unforgivable sin.
 

"They created an informal, grassroots underground intelligence agency across America, organized around one guiding principle: If you’re a fascist, you don’t get to hide behind a mask. I followed anti-fascist spies as they went undercover, at great personal risk, into white-supremacist groups that burst onto the scene in the Trump era. These spies gathered intelligence that would go on to unmask, or “dox,” neo-Nazi police officers, politicians, pastors, professors, teachers, a therapist, EMTs, businessmen, soldiers, and other men in positions of authority and power—many of whom would lose their jobs as a result."

Reminder that the writer for The Nation wrote about "anti-fascist spies" who are infiltrating people's shit and narc'ing on them. Very cool.

I don't think I'd ever try to infiltrate some commie group just to get them V&, jesus.
 
This is the most insane thing Trump has done. Few people understand this. This is a transparent power grab by the executive office.

The President is elected once every 4 years. A seat with such a clear short-term incentive structure should NOT have the power to set interest rates. This is being done because Trump is upset that interest rates aren't zeroed out for the twentieth year in a row.

Whether you like the Fed or not, Powell has done a decent job. He was put in a difficult position, but he proved to be the first Fed Chair in decades that had to balls to raise rates and clamp down on inflation. The executive office can't just slap trumped up charges on the guy because he had to hike rates. If we are being honest, he should have hiked rates even more.

There is a lot of valid discussion about the role of the Fed, whether there should be more democratic oversight, etc. But this is NOT the way. If the executive office can just bully the Fed into plunging rates any time they are in trouble before an election, we are going to wind up with hyperinflation.
Dunno about "decent" but its fair to say he has done alriht for the situations he found himself in.I know a lot of miggers on this thread have been cheering this on, but i fail to see the benefit tbh.No worries though, based on his letisia james suite? He will fuck it up somehow.

Please respond to the poster with more clear reasoing migger!
So apparently Mexico is sending Troops to the US Border to try and grandstand and force us to back down from hitting the cartels in their shithole country.
Not true i think.Last i checked trump WANTS those guys there to guard the US border from their end, so this is the mexican president trying to appease him after he has been threatening strikes.
 
Anything less than baseless optimism and an active refusal to acknowledge alternative evidence has guys like kvetching about muh anime and muh doomer.
"Look around at the good things happening and have a little bit of optimism for them." and "Have optimism regardless of the circumstance" are two different things, dumbfuck. if you didn't notice i have an anime avatar too, or is kaiba not anime enough for you? it was a joke to attempt to be light-hearted and have a little fun with you, like with the other people who aren't total retards, but i forgot you're a joyless cunt who exists to demoralize the people in the thread and shit it up. i should've known better than to even attempt to extend an olive branch to someone so utterly retarded. i return once more to my previous opinion that you should ronnie mcnutt yourself.

that ICE video of the texas spics was just AI, don'tcha know sym. we are never allowed to be excited or happy for things going our way. if trump doesn't declare total nigger death and begin executing trannies in the white house oval office himself, we might as well have voted for kamala! it's never enough for these fucking retards. as i said a couple days ago, the doomer holds no principles. he will move to the next position like the shiftless faggot he is.

I don't think I'd ever try to infiltrate some commie group just to get them V&, jesus.
i find this concept fascinating, because i've spoken with commies in the past as well. most of them are not very ideologically dedicated. they'll claim it's the most important thing to them, and then stay home from every protest, or do like that fat tranny and decide marching would leave them out of breath so they don't wanna. the ideological commitment to take down peoples' enemies just isn't there in most cases. not to mention, the commies in this argument worry about being indoctrinated with fascism, apparently their own beliefs are so pitiful and weak they can't even rely on faithful party members to hold onto them after one struggle session with the enemy.

for one, interest is literally a biblical Sin, so right off they are evil as a concept.
Two, the Debt Dollar and everything Central Banks stand for is evil on its face, it simply creates an infinite loop of making people who use liquid cash poorer and more reliant on the Elite who do not rely or use Liquid cash more and more, till they are slaves, which they effectively are now, slaves who have to buy their own food and deal in ever more worthless paper (or digital paper) dollars.

There doesn't have to be anything more to it than that, everything they do, everything you say after that, is just icing on the cake, previous Great Men would prefer to hound every person wanting to install a Central Bank and kill them, and they were RIGHT to do so, because its an open declaration, "we are going to slowly enslave your populous"

You even saying anything good they do in their system of debt slavery makes you either a willful slave, or a retard.
 
it is! i'm talking about the people who spend the day talking about him even when he's not here and shitting up the thread. you've always handled people you hate by calling them faggots and moving on. i do appreciate a concise poster who knows when to use a scalpel and when to use a machete.
Imo, so long as these DM screenshots exist, there really is no reason to seriously engage with the Hulkster's (or similar TDS victims') politicalsperging.

You might as well just hop on Reddit or Blusky to argue at that rate :smug:
Sir, do you need a reminder about the literal mod DM again?

Fed cuts interest rates: "OMG inflation kill the Fed chair!"
Fed raises interest rates: "OMG recession kill the Fed chair!"
